How these features help you

The holder’s design targets the Laowa 12mm f/2.8, so it avoids the dark corners that some generic holders create. As a result, you can use wide-angle compositions without worrying about vignetting.

Moreover, the 360 degree rotation lets you adjust the holder’s orientation quickly for landscape and portrait framing. Then, use the locking screw to fix the holder in place and keep your angle steady during exposure or when stacking filters.

NiSi borrowed the left-to-right pressed clip mechanism from the V6 series. Consequently, inserting and removing filters becomes smoother than with traditional top-and-bottom slot designs. This clip design reduces friction on delicate glass and speeds up filter changes in the field.

The holder is machined from aviation-grade billet aluminum and finished with a black powder coating and matte black frosted surface. Therefore, it offers durable construction while minimizing internal reflections that could affect image quality.

Finally, the system supports two 100mm-wide filters, and it accepts either 100x100mm or 100x150mm filter formats from NiSi and compatible brands such as Lee, Sing-Ray, and Cokin. This gives you flexibility to use common square or rectangular filter sizes from multiple manufacturers.

What’s included

The package comes complete with the NiSi 100mm Alpha holder and the adaptor for the Laowa 12mm. Filters themselves are not listed as included, so you can pair the holder with existing 100x100mm or 100x150mm filters from NiSi or other compatible brands.
